Gold and Methane: A Noble Combination for Delicate Oxidation
Duncan J. Mowbray, Annapaola Migani, Guido Walther +2
The ability to partially oxidize methane at low temperatures and pressures would have important environmental and economic applications. Although methane oxidation on gold nanopart…
Determining the Energy Barrier for Decay out of Superdeformed Bands
B. R. Barrett, J. Bürki, D. M. Cardamone +2
An asymptotically exact quantum mechanical calculation of the matrix elements for tunneling through an asymmetric barrier is combined with the two-state statistical model for decay…
Single-Molecule Device Prototypes for Protein-Based Nanoelectronics: Negative Differential Resistance and Current Rectification in Oligopeptides
David M. Cardamone, George Kirczenow
We investigate electrical conduction through individual oligopeptide molecules thiol-bonded between gold nanocontacts using ab initio and semi-empirical techniques. Our theory expl…
The Quantum Interference Effect Transistor: Principles and Perspectives
Charles A. Stafford, David M. Cardamone, Sumit Mazumdar
We give a detailed discussion of the Quantum Interference Effect Transistor (QuIET), a proposed device which exploits interference between electron paths through aromatic molecules…
Universality of Decay out of Superdeformed Bands in the 190 Mass Region
D. M. Cardamone, B. R. Barrett, C. A. Stafford
Superdeformed nuclei in the 190 mass region exhibit a striking universality in their decay-out profiles. We show that this universality can be explained in the two-level model of s…
Exactly Solvable Model for the Decay of Superdeformed Nuclei
B. R. Barrett, D. M. Cardamone, C. A. Stafford
The history and importance of superdeformation in nuclei is briefly discussed. A simple two-level model is then employed to obtain an elegant expression for the branching ratio for…
